Modern Elenaor available in San Diego

Hello ... on my personal site I posted some pictures of this beauty

http://www.evilution.com/knightmare/ under My RENTAL.

or just go straight here - http://www.evilution.com/knightmare/rental.htm

I also captured the sticker price. Mossy Ford will customize these to your liking - you will notice the hood is different.

They have also decided to pull out of their agreement with Saleen ( even though they sell about 20 a year ) ... support from Saleen ( and I can testify to this ) is a nightmare. But they will stay as a customizer of mustangs and trucks.

if you scroll down you will see GT 350H pictures too.

Yeah could they have made the Eleanor stripe any bigger and noticable?

I always thought the Cervinis kit was a little much for my tastes... but somehow it looks worse than I've seen before on that car.

exactly ... 46K plus tax and lic ... the body kit only costs 4K .. so that is 14K for labor and profit? so far after talking to a couple of race shops, the average cost of labor is $95 an hour. so the question to ask is ... how long did it take them to install it and paint it.
If there is no profit mark up and using my average, thats 147.35 hours of labor.

makes sense to me considering I sat down and went through the expenses on my car and it is hovering around the $65,000 CAD area.

I didn't like Eleanor in GI6S either. Love the GT-H however.

According to Cervinis ad in Mustang Enthusiast, they ( Cervini ) only charge 12.9K for the body work .. but then again you have to ship your car there or order a mustang for their local ford dealer and bring it out to you ... which is an extra cost depending on where you are at.

Wow, I have officially reached saturation point.

I have always though the Eleanor type kits were pretty cool, especially after seeing the BBR car in person very early on after the S197s came out.... and really gave them credit even when other people started to slg them after a while.....but I just hit the gag limit....

I think I am officialy sick of the Eleanor style modding of the S197s.... enough already......

hmmm, they did another one huh? I drove the first one they did several months ago, here it is....

sound clips here....

as for the GTH in San Diego they cost $200/day to rent if you are a Gold Member I believe the rate was 145-150/day and you need to fly in from somewhere, you can not drive down and rent it

Mossy in PB last I heard might also become a Foose Dealer.

interesting ... yea i am sure the cost can change based on options. They really need to have better performance for this car; gears and a 6-speed would be nice.

But the cost would be more effective is ford had a six speed as an option. I know people hate eleanors and such and I am too burned out on it ... the cool thing it that is can show what is come come.

What is interesting too to note is if you walk up to this car and look at the body moldings ... it is very much an add on - meaning the body moldings just dont seem to fit smoothly.

thanks for the other pics!

the one I saw was very well put together there werent any gaps or misalignment, I guess its all in who puts it together, but it did look fake and plasticy when you got upclose, i think it is because of the silver paint though, that color on aftermarket kits just doesnt look OEM for some reason.
